Soul...

Today's prompt at Haiku Heights is "soul"...

Henley's Invictus
tells of his resilience
Captain of his soul
~

True voice of the blues
Her soulful songs topped the charts
Rest in peace Etta
~

The Poor Soul so tried
yet met with certain failure
Gleason's humble id
~

Katrina robbed souls
sweeping away livelihoods
 Obliteration
~

Heart, body, and soul,
Barry, Smokey, and Marvin
Seventies' Soul Train

***


      Sings my soul to thee            
  infinite omnipresence

  Music thus arranged

Our yearning essence
moving impulses aspire
To higher levels

 Sublime from within
innate womb of suspension,
 Comes not ready made

Trials play us forward
beyond the last horizon

Divinely spun web

Haiku Wednesday...Brilliance...

There's Something About Mary
by klr


Ground, whetted, and buffed

 facets shine like diamonds

pouring from her soul

Her light radiates

from her nurturing big heart 

Thus her brilliance


God please take care of my foal


She cares for others
The benevolent are blessed
Thus, his genius

My daughter, Mary at Age 3 in 1973.  She now has a family with husband and two children of her own and is a nurse.

I believe diamonds and brilliance are 3 syllable words ;-)
